This is also the first time we engaged CSKart47 race assistance to manage Alvis for the weekend. Due to my limited knowledge in the 2 stoke kart engine and carburetor setup and tuning, we thought it will be better to try it out with the professional.
The timing said it all. This is Alvis first pole position in the new category, 9 to 12 year old (birthday in the year). After his entry in Feb, he has been training hard on the track. I guessed he has progressed and I was moving too slowly as his mechanic.
Just look at his size amongst his category, that, however did not stop him from wanting to race with them. In fact, he is looking forward to race with the bigger boys. When comes to racing, he is all ready to race with anyone regardless of age and size.
Thank you CSKart47 for managing Alvis during the race weekend and provide a good setup and tuning to enable a pole position for him.
It was a very good experience for Alvis as he has learned how to take the lead during the formation lap.
What Alvis lack during the race was luck. He was 'touched' on the back on the first corner and was skidded out of the track. Though able to restart engine and continue the race but were many seconds behind. It was a rain and shine situation throughout the race and we know it wasn't easy on the kart setup as well as for Alvis. Nevertheless, We were happy for the weekend.
We would like to thank Cedric the chief, Johan the mechanic and staff of CSKart47 for the assistance in managing Alvis for the race weekend. Also not forgetting 'Gong Gong', 'Ah Ma', Peter Chong and wife for coming to support Alvis on his race. Lastly, we would like to thank FFSA and circuit Kart System de Merignac for organising the race.
